The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
“generation”
Here’s one that really took me by surprise. It’s a 3-song demo by G.X. (I’m lazy, but don’t confuse them with DX from WWF.) Is that a saxophone on the first track? Woooooh!!! It doesn’t sound bad at all. Overall, the songs fall into the rap/rock category, but there’s enough here to keep it interesting. May I suggest getting a “Glamour Shot” for the band photo? It would really help!! E-mail them at gxtmail@aol.com.
